Fees explained
How Etsy Fees Work
A typical Etsy order carries three fees, plus Offsite Ads when the buyer came from an Etsy ad on another site. Each is billed separately to your Etsy Payment account.
-
Listing fee
$0.20 per unit
Etsy charges $0.20 to publish a listing. When the item sells, the listing renews automatically for another $0.20, and every extra unit sold in the same order costs $0.20 more. This calculator counts $0.20 per unit sold.
- Charged on
- $0.20 per listing. When an item sells, the listing auto-renews for $0.20, and each additional quantity sold in the same order is another $0.20.

Transaction fee
6.5%
Etsy takes 6.5% of what the buyer pays you for the order: the item price, plus shipping and gift wrap if you charge for them. Offering “free shipping” by raising your price does not avoid it, because the fee follows the money either way.
- Charged on
- The item price plus any shipping and gift wrap you charge the buyer.

Payment processing fee
3% + $0.25
Etsy Payments charges 3% + $0.25 per order for US sellers. Unlike the transaction fee, it is calculated on the full amount the buyer pays, including sales tax.
- Charged on
- The total sale price, including shipping and any sales tax, for sellers whose Etsy Payments bank account is in the United States.

- Note
- Etsy lists shipping and sales tax in the base. Gift wrap is part of the total sale price the buyer pays, so it is included too.

Offsite Ads fee
15%
Only when it applies
Only charged when a buyer clicks one of Etsy's ads on another site and buys from your shop within 30 days. Shops under $10,000 a year pay 15% and can opt out. The fee never exceeds $100.00 per order.
- Charged on
- The order total (item price, shipping and gift wrap, excluding tax) of orders attributed to an Offsite Ad.
- Eligibility
- Shops that made less than $10,000 USD in any consecutive 365-day period.
- In effect since
- Date not published by Etsy
- Note
- Etsy describes the Offsite Ads fee as a percentage of the “order total”. Etsy's fee article defines order total as item price, shipping and gift wrap, excluding tax, so that is the base used here.

Once a shop reaches $10,000 in sales over any 365 days, Offsite Ads becomes mandatory at a discounted 12%, still capped at $100.00 per order.
- Charged on
- The order total (item price, shipping and gift wrap, excluding tax) of orders attributed to an Offsite Ad.

Worked example
A $40 Necklace With $6 Shipping
The buyer pays $40.00 for the necklace and $6.00 for shipping. It costs $12.00 to make and $5.00 to post.
| Line | Normal order | Offsite Ads order |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee $0.20 | −$0.20 | −$0.20 |
| Transaction fee 6.5% × $46.00 | −$2.99 | −$2.99 |
| Payment processing fee 3% × $46.00 + $0.25 | −$1.63 | −$1.63 |
| Offsite Ads fee (15%) 15% × $46.00 | — | −$6.90 |
| Net payout from $46.00 | $41.18 | $34.28 |
| Profit after $17.00 costs | $24.18 · 52.57% | $17.28 · 37.57% |
One Offsite Ads sale cuts this order's profit from $24.18 to $17.28. If many of your orders come from Offsite Ads, price for it.
FAQ
Etsy Fee Questions
How much does Etsy take from a $100 sale?
For a US seller using Etsy Payments with no shipping charge and no Offsite Ads, Etsy takes $9.95: a $0.20 listing fee, a $6.50 transaction fee (6.5%) and a $3.25 payment processing fee (3% + $0.25). You receive $90.05 before your own costs.
Does Etsy charge fees on the shipping I charge buyers?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the item price plus any shipping and gift wrap you charge, and the payment processing fee is calculated on the full order total including shipping. On a $20 item with $8 shipping, Etsy's fees are $3.11, not just the fees on $20.
Does Etsy charge fees on sales tax?
Partly. Etsy's help center says the payment processing fee is taken from the total sale price including any sales tax. The transaction fee is charged on the item price, shipping and gift wrap. Enter the tax in the optional sales tax field to include it in the processing fee.
Why did Etsy charge me another listing fee when my item sold?
When an item sells, Etsy automatically renews the listing for $0.20 so it stays active, and each additional quantity sold in the same order is another $0.20. This calculator counts $0.20 for every unit sold.
Can I turn off Etsy Offsite Ads?
Only if your shop has never made $10,000 or more in a 365-day period. Below that, Offsite Ads is optional and costs 15% of an attributed order. Once you pass $10,000 it is required, at 12%. Either way the fee is capped at $100.00 per order and only applies to orders that came from an ad.
What price should I charge on Etsy to make a specific profit?
Switch the calculator to “Find my price” and enter a target profit or margin. With $6 shipping, a $12 item cost and $5 postage, you need to charge $35.38 to keep $20.00 per order. Because Etsy's fees are a percentage of the price, the highest margin possible is just under 90.5%.
Are these the same fees for Etsy sellers outside the US?
No. This calculator uses the rates for US sellers with a US bank account. Payment processing rates differ by country, and sellers in some countries also pay a regulatory operating fee. Country versions are planned.
Is this calculator made by Etsy?
No. This is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Etsy. Results are estimates based on Etsy's published rates; your Etsy Payment account shows the exact fees for each order.
